JITS USE RATE CARD
Charges on Hourly Basis Are
Temporarily Approved.
NEW REGULATION LOOMS
gardlng rates provides a maximum
which may be charged and allows the
driver to fix his own minimum and te
file this with the city.
When that rate Is filed It must be
charged, the purpose being to prevent
the charging: of one rate to one cerion
and another to another on the basis of
the circumstances under which the car
(nay be engaged.
It Is expected that the ordinance soon
will get the jitneya into trouble, inas
much as the whole proposition is one
of evading the Council's regulations regarding-
service and protection of the
public. It is the general opinion that
the plan of the jitneys is to continue
operating on a straight B-cent basis re-.
gardless of any hourly rata.
Uniform System Willi Minimum and
Maximum- Rates Planned by City
in Effort to' Discontinue "Use
of Taxi "Law as Shield.
Jitneys started operating yesterday
under the new hourly baels plan which
they have, devised to set around the
City Council's mandate that they shall
obtain a, franchise to qpntinue In busl
ness. Rate cards giving the rate to be
charged per hour were approved tera
porarily yesterday by City Commis
sioner DiecK.
They will stand, until a uniform sys
tem of rate cards Is printed by the ctly,
When these are printed all taxicaba
and for hire cars will be required to
use them. Jitneys are now "for hire
cars under the arrangement.
To operate as "for hire" cars the .lit
neys must make charges on the basis
of the time consumed in trips. If the
hourly rate is $1.25 that rate must be
posted inside the car. and the driver
will be required to charge on that
basis.
Minimum Rate la Prvrfded.
If a trip takes 15 minutes the driver
will have to collect 30. cents. ' If he
falls he will be subject to arrest. If
one passenger is carried that passenger
must pay the full charge for the time
consumed. If more than one are car
ried they may each pay a share of thd
charge.
The driver must give on demand a
card showing the actual time the lit
ney was engaged and the time the pas
senger finished his or her trip. Thie
card must be furnished by the driver
if the passenger asks for It.
The provisions of the ordinance un
der which the jitneys are working was
framed for legitimate taxlcabs and for
hire cars and therefore the provisions
do not fit Jitney operation.. They were
never intended for Jitneys, but the Jit
neys are within their rights, accord
ing to City Attorny La Roche, as long
as they make the proper charges.
Trouble Predicted for Jitneys.
The ordinance under which they are
operating was passed by the Council
last Summer to curb fraudulent deal
lngs of some of the for hire car oper
ator with tourists. - The provision re-
